The May Cheong Group, through it’s manufacturing entity May Tat Toy Products Factory Limited, was recently awarded ISO50001:11 certification.

The certification is presented for the development and implementation of policies and procedures that will enable the company to use energy in a more efficient manner. The rigorous criteria necessary for achieving and implementing the requirements establishes May Cheong Group as one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly toy manufacturers in the world.

The following framework for achieving ISO 50001 certification is outlined on their web-site:

• Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy
• Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy
• Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use
• Measure the results

During the process of certification, the company realized that the energy management system was not just established to monitor usage. In reality, the system analyzed the usage and also used a scientific methodology for lowering the manufacturing costs by identifying where waste occurs and implementing steps towards improvement. The entire process also helped to motivate employees to becoming more innovative in their approach to energy management.

The owners of May Cheong Group remain committed to improving the sustainability and environmental impact of their factories. They have recently stated their next goal of reducing carbon emissions and becoming Carbon Footprint certified.
